The «For Safety Together!» campaign is launching
March 19, 2025
From March 17 to April 4, the «For Safety Together!» campaign will be held in the city of Vitebsk, aimed at preventing fires and deaths from them in the housing stock.
The goal of this campaign is to reduce the number of fires caused by citizens' non-compliance with fire safety rules in residential buildings and structures, settlements, and territories, including rural areas. Campaign participants will visit the homes of lonely and elderly citizens living alone and disabled people, families with children in socially dangerous situations, and will provide explanations and recommendations to homeowners on improving the fire safety of their homes. Joint raids, information exchange, and meetings with work collectives and the public are planned during the campaign. In addition, anyone can contact the city emergency department to assess the fire safety of their property.
The Vitebsk City Department of Emergency Situations reminds that, in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Belarus, the responsibility for complying with fire safety requirements in residential buildings owned by citizens on the right of private ownership rests with their owners. Check the operability of autonomous fire alarms, and if they are absent, install them in the living quarters of the property. Pay attention to the proper functioning of heating equipment and electrical wiring. Do not leave children unattended and do not allow children to play with fire. Observe fire safety rules when lighting fires and do not leave them unattended. Do not throw unextinguished matches and cigarette butts into dry grass and do not allow the burning of dry vegetation. Remember: careless handling of fire leads to loss of life and destruction of property.
Traditionally, other prevention entities will also participate in the campaign. As is known, the effectiveness of any activity lies in common interest and interaction. So let's all do our best for our safety!
